A businessman and statesman, Mitt Romney is a candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Romney will discuss global challenges and the necessity for American leadership —not just for us, but for the world.
Romney began his career working for the management consulting firm Bain & Company before founding the investment firm Bain Capital. In 1999, Romney was president of the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee. He helped rescue the games from financial and ethical woes, and led the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002 to success.
As governor of Massachusetts, Romney presided over sustained economic expansion. He enacted comprehensive economic reforms, stimulating growth that added over 60,000 jobs and balanced the budget every year in his administration. As part of his educational reforms, Romney established the John and Abigail Adams Scholarships to reward the top 25 percent of Massachusetts high school students with a four-year, full-tuition scholarship to a Massachusetts public college.
Mitt Romney earned degrees from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School. He is the author of Turnaround, about his work with the Olympics. His new book, No Apology — The Case for American Greatness, will be available at the program.
A limited number of copies will be given to teachers, students, and supporting members of the Council. For your free copy, you must call the Council office and register.
